While
MBFO plays only original compositions by Ms. Baker, involving her own highly
developed “conduction-like” style of directing, the CMOP is dedicated to
commissioning, performing and recording contemporary creative and classical
music of many new composers.

The
mission of the orchestra is to excite and encourage new audiences with their
own brand of “out-of-the-box” programming.

Scores of the
unusual and completely innovative and unexpected programming is at the heart of
CMOP’s mission.

Original scores
are sought from every genre of music, with special emphasis on living
composers.

It is one of
CMOP’s highest aspirations to present compositions of new emerging composers
that perhaps would not appeal to most symphonies.

So, with that
in mind, concerts are usually a mixture of large ensemble pieces along with
small ensemble delicacies sprinkled in.
